  • Definition of Chalk

    Definition of Chalk

    1.1: Introduction: 1.1.1: Definition of chalk: Chalk is a soft, white, porous sedimentary carbonate rock, a form of limestone composed of the mineral calcite. Calcite is calcium carbonate or CaCO3. It forms under reasonably deep marine conditions from the gradual accumulation of minute calcite shells (coccoliths) shed from micro-organisms called coccolithophores. Flint (a type of chert unique to chalk) is very common as bands parallel to the bedding or as nodules embedded in chalk. It is probably derived from sponge spicules or other siliceous organisms as water is expelled upwards during compaction. Flint is often deposited around larger fossils such as Echinoidea which may be silicified (i.e. replaced molecule by molecule by flint). Chalk as seen in Cretaceous deposits of Western Europe is unusual among sedimentary limestone in the thickness of the beds. Most cliffs of chalk have very few obvious bedding planes unlike most thick sequences of limestone such as the Carboniferous Limestone or the Jurassic oolitic limestones. This presumably indicates very stable conditions over tens of millions of years. Figure (1-1): Calcium sulphate 1 "Nitzana Chalk curves" situated at Western Negev, Israel are chalk deposits formed at the Mesozoic era's Tethys Ocean Chalk has greater resistance to weathering and slumping than the clays with which it is usually associated, thus forming tall steep cliffs where chalk ridges meet the sea. Chalk hills, known as chalk downland, usually form where bands of chalk reach the surface at an angle, so forming a scarp slope. Because chalk is well jointed it can hold a large volume of ground water, providing a natural reservoir that releases water slowly through dry seasons.

    Report to Planning Committee – 26 January 2017

    REPORT TO PLANNING COMMITTEE – 26 JANUARY 2017 PLANNING APPEALS 1. There were 13 appeals determined between October and December 2016. Two appeals were against non-determination where the Planning Committee had deferred a decision, one appeal against a Planning Committee decision and the remainder against delegated decisions. Five of the appeals were upheld. There were three successful appeals against Committee decision (including the two appeals for non-determination) and two successful appeals against delegated decision. 2. Members have been issued with the full decisions, but in brief the reasons were: 2.1 Red Lion, Canterbury Rd (including listed building app) Members had, following submission of the appeal against non-determination, decided that, had the application come back to Committee, it would have been approved with conditions. Costs have been awarded. 2.2 New Dover Road An application on an allocated site for 40 dwellings. Members refused this application because the proposal was out of character with the surrounding area. The Inspector concluded that the effect on the character of the surrounding area would be limited. Partial costs have been awarded, in relation to a submitted unilateral undertaking that the Council had accepted, but had not informed the Inspectorate and therefore the applicant provided experts to attend the hearing that were not required. 2.3 Brookestreet An application for an extension over a garage. The issue was the effect on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area. The Planning Inspector disagreed. 2.4 Barnsole Road An application for a change of use of a barn to residential dwelling refused under Class Q of the GPDO.

    VOL. XLVIII JULY No. 7 1955 BRITISH BIRDS DO ENGLISH WOODPIGEONS MIGRATE ? By DAVID LACK (Edward Grey Institute, Oxford) and M. G. RIDPATH (Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Tolworth) INTRODUCTION THE object of this short paper is to draw attention to a curious problem in the hope that others will help in solving it. The obser­ vations here described, made independently by Lack round Oxford and by Ridpath in Kent and Sussex, cannot be satisfactorily interpreted until more is known from other parts of England. At first, each of us supposed that we had chanced on a big autumn migration of Woodpigeons (Cohimba palumbus), but now we are doubtful. The earlier literature on the migration of Woodpigeons was reviewed by Alexander (1940) and re-summarized by Snow (1953). So far as England is concerned the evidence was conflicting. In the autumn, there might be an arrival from Scandinavia into East Anglia and from north-western France into S.E. England, while a S.W. movement was seen for many years in the Stour valley, Worcestershire. That is all, and as yet it is quite uncertain whether the apparent increase in Woodpigeons in southern England in autumn is due to purely local aggregation or to migration and, if to migration, whether this comes from northern Britain, Scandi­ navia or France. OBSERVATIONS ROUND OXFORD (D. LACK) In 1953, during an autumn watch for visible migration on Boars Hill, just outside Oxford, big flights of Woodpigeons were noted going south in the early mornings during the last few days of October. At first they were dismissed as feeding movements from a roost, but over 400 individuals passed on 30th October and they flew high like migrants.

Ten of them are in the British Museum ; three others are, respec- tively, in the Bodleian Library, in the Public Record Office and among the papers of the Marquess of Salisbury at Hatfield House ; the remaining three, one owned by Mr. Prescott, of Dover, and two by the Dover Harbour Com- missioners, are facsimiles of three of the B.M. plans. The literary evidence, though considerable, is insufficient to enable us to identify all of them, but the reproduction of some of them here is perhaps sufficient excuse for an attempt to do so. The difficulty is added to by the fact that, even in the rare instances in which they are dated or signed, there is seldom any indication whether they represent then existing works or only projects which may or may not have been carried out. The earliest printed account of the making of the harbour is in Holinshed's Chronicle (1578), continued after his death in 1580 by John Hooker, and this is abbreviated in the Histories of Kent of Harris and Hasted.

But by far the most complete account is in a paper by the late Mr.
